Data, temporal scale and sources.
Figure 1.
Mean annual growth rates of the aggregate population size (Pop), the number (no) of households (HH), the per capita living space (LSp) and urban land area (U) in 188 (118) European cities 1990–2000 and 2000–2006.
Figure 2.
Distribution of cities in Europe according to population and household development in 1990–2000 and 2000–2004.
POP – Population, HH – Households,+positive growth rate, −negative growth rate. Note: No data on household number was available for the period 2000–2004 for Poland, the Czech Republic, Romania, Switzerland, Hungary, Lithuania and Portugal.
Table 2.
Comparison between growth rates of the population (Pop) and household numbers (HH) in European cities for the periods of 1990–2000 (n = 188) and 2000–2006 (n = 118).
Figure 3.
Population densities of European cities represented for 1990 compared to 2000 and for 2000 compared to 2004.
Cities on the right side of the dividing line show a decline in density values compare to the other point in time. Note: Population density is shown as built-up density which is the population number per km2 urban area.
